Farmer's Head: Busy farming

Chapter 42
Chapter 42

Chu Zigui didn't say a word, but went on to start another dish.

It is not uncommon to burn fish, but there seems to be something unusual on this dish, the red thing, I seem to have never seen it before.

Chu Zigui didn't realize that Xi'er would hurt him, so he picked up the fish and put it in his mouth.

The fish is fresh and tender, the skin is crispy, and the soup has penetrated thoroughly. Moreover, there are things in the seasoning that I have never eaten before.

His eyes changed, but he still didn't comment on the dish. Looking at the plate of boiled shrimp, his expression finally softened a lot, and his tone couldn't hear the emotion, "This dish seems a bit too ordinary."

"Don't say it too early, this green shrimp is full of umami, and boiled is the best." Xi'er also knows that there is nothing surprising about the boiled shrimp, and she only does this when she sees that it is a live shrimp.

Chu Zigui didn't expect her to be so reasonable, so he smiled helplessly and started peeling the shrimp by himself.

Standing on the side, Cheng An was stunned. Since when did his young master see such a thing, he couldn't help but say, "Miss Xi'er, why don't you peel off the shells of the shrimp and bring them to our young master?"

"You don't understand this. The shells of the shrimp are used to keep warm and lock in the freshness of the shrimp. After I peeled it and served it, the delicious taste was lost." Although Xi'er said this to Cheng An, But it was also told to Chu Zigui.

She naturally understood why this rich young master would do the work of peeling the shrimp with his own hands.

Chu Zigui peeled the prawns, only to find that the prawn threads had been removed. She was a little surprised. She still had such a mind, and the craftsmanship was pretty good.

The ginger vinegar was boiled by Xi'er. It was so beautiful. Chu Zigui dipped the shrimp meat in the ginger vinegar and put it in his mouth. The spiciness in the imagination, I think it is a special treatment.

However, he was very surprised that these three dishes had their own flavors and should not be underestimated, but it seemed that they all contained the same condiment, which he had never eaten before.

Chu Zigui took the handkerchief Cheng An handed over, wiped his hands, and said, "Inside your dish"

"It's all my unique secrets. I won't tell you if you ask me." Xi'er interrupted Chu Zigui's words first, and she knew that this young master is definitely a gluttonous figure, although there is no way because of insufficient seasoning It is extremely delicious, but compared to the food of this era, my cooking skills are definitely not bad.

But he didn't even blink his eyes, even if it was a chili that he hadn't eaten before, he still looked indifferent, he really couldn't bear it.

Chu Zigui ate the "closed door", but he didn't force it, he just nodded slightly and praised, "Your cooking skills are really good, my young master really underestimated you."

"Don't dare to act, dare not act, hehehe." Xi'er is also a person who likes to listen to good words. She is smiling brightly at this moment, and she is reserved and humble for a rare time.

A smile appeared on Chu Zigui's lips, and he looked at Xi'er with a hint of doting in his eyes, "What a weird girl."

Xi'er was taken aback when she heard that, she had never been judged by someone like this before, so what does that look mean?
Seeing that the young master was very satisfied with the three dishes, Meng Yuan'er was relieved, after all, he was Xi'er's lifesaver.

Several people were talking when the courtyard door was pushed open again.

Xi'er was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little flustered, why did everyone come back in such a hurry?
Meng Yuan'er went up to greet them, saw that her parents had come from the orchard, and immediately said to them, "Mother and Dad, there are guests at home."

"What guest?" Meng Hai was already full of melancholy, but when he heard her say that, he couldn't help being taken aback.

Mrs. Liu stood beside her with a puzzled expression on her face, "We want visitors? Your second uncle and the others are here?"

"No, it's a young master from the town!" Meng Yuan'er shook her head, feeling that she was not very good when she said this, and then added, "It's Xi'er's savior!"

"Savior?" At this moment, the husband and wife were a little confused.

Meng Yuan'er couldn't explain clearly for a while, so she could only whisper, "Oh, Mom and Dad, I won't be able to explain clearly for a while."

The three of them were talking, when Chu Zigui led Cheng An and Xi'er out of the main room, he happened to see the three people in the yard.

Xi'er stepped forward cleverly and called out, "Father, mother."

"Master Meng, Mrs. Meng, Chu is being polite." Chu Zigui came to his senses and saluted the two of them respectfully.

Cheng An also followed behind to salute, and then he heard Chu Zigui say, "It's really not right for Chu to visit abruptly today, with a little care, please don't dislike him, Master Meng."

Upon hearing this, Cheng An hurried forward and handed the snack in his hand to Mrs. Liu.

The young master asked me to hold this bag of snacks when I went out just now, so that's why.

Liu took the snack in surprise, but still didn't understand the situation.

Seeing more and more people in the yard, Xi'er was a little embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly greeted, "Let's go inside and talk, it's so hot outside."

Chu Zigui did not put on airs as a young master now, and followed behind Meng Hai, the master.

Entering the main room, Meng Hai naturally saw the food on the table, and was even more puzzled. When it comes to eating, why are there two plates and one bowl?

"Father and mother, I will explain this to you later. How is the orchard?" Xi'er hurriedly asked when she saw her father's gaze on the food.

Sure enough, Meng Hai shook his head when his daughter asked her this question, and said worriedly, "Oh, I'm afraid the fruits in that garden are going to rot in the ground.",

As soon as these words came out, the Meng family members were gloomy.

Even Xi'er, who was always smiling, was a little worried at the moment. For some reason, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, jam?

If you add honey or sugar to these sour fruits and boil them into jam, wouldn't they be sold?
"Father, I have a solution." Xi'er looked at the people present, father and mother, second sister, and Chu Zi to the master and servant. She paused, and then said, "We can boil this fruit into sauce, Selling the sauce should be able to recover a little loss."

"Boil the fruit into sauce?" Meng Hai was a little puzzled, obviously not understanding what it meant.

But Chu Zigui, who was sitting by the side, laughed at this moment. It seemed that she really had a solution.

"That's right, the taste of this fruit is not good, and the taste is sour. Let's add some sugar and boil it into a sauce, or add some herbs to make it into a paste. It will definitely earn some money." Xi'er really has to admire herself, Sydney paste, apple Sauce, why didn't I think of it a few days ago!

Such a good thing, as long as someone understands it, they will know the benefits of this thing. If there are many people who buy it and spread it by word of mouth, I am afraid that if you don’t lose money, you can make a lot of money!
